Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The STA is necessary to operate transmit testing equipment in support of the development of a communication MESH network for high-altitude balloon systems with a transmit frequency range 2450-2480 MHz. The transmitter will be utilized by a mobile networked MIMO (MN-MIMO) transmitting at 4 watts.

Class of Station:
MO

Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:
The purpose of the operation is to conduct High-Altitude Balloon testing using Mobile Networked MIMO (MN-MIMO) radios in the Tonopah, NV area. A ground station is a temporary fixed platform in place for the duration of the balloon flight only and will be used to down-link high-rate payload data from the balloon. Balloons may also relay data to other balloons in a mesh network, but at a much lower EIRP.
